According to BlockBeats, on October 10, Abstract Chain team member @0xCygaar highlighted on the X platform that the FBI allegedly violated the MIT license during the issuance of the NexFundAI token. The team member claimed that the FBI directly copied multiple library files from OpenZeppelin in their smart contract without attaching the required license statement, constituting copyright infringement. The MIT license mandates that all copies or significant portions of the software must include the license statement.
Previously, it was reported that the FBI had created a token and company named 'NexFundAI' on Ethereum to identify and combat fraudsters and bring them to justice. The FBI reportedly used the company and token to meet with market makers to discuss 'cooperation.' One of the defendants explained that his company used bots to simultaneously buy and sell on centralized exchanges (CEX) to generate trading volume. On-chain information shows that the token's trading function was disabled 21 days ago.#FBI #MITLicense #NexFundAI #TokenIssuance #CopyrightInfringement #OpenZeppelin #SmartContract #Blockchain #Token #Ethereum
